I could write a blog. I have thoughts.

Life at the library, adventures with friends and other hysterics...

Slow it down, read the sign so you know just where you're going.

Well, my car was clean.

Until I had to drive it on wet gravel.

Then that all went away.

So the plan for tonight was softball, remember?

Was supposed to be the first game of our regular season, however, the game got rained out.

BUT I still ended up at the farmhouse because of yet another adventure involving white walls and sterilized equipment.

I feel like I use that phrase so often that it should have its own tag.

So, I'm starting one.

Basically, Grams is in the hospital and Mom is staying over but she doesn't have any extra clothes SO since I was going out for the game anyway I said I would pick up her stuff. THEN the game was cancelled but I was on my way anyway so I went to get it.

I called Dad beforehand and asked him to pack the bag so that I could just grab it and drive back.

I was there for a total of five minutes and this was all that he said:

-I packed my robe cause hers is ugly.
-Can a woman wear the same bra two days in a row?
-They're dresses because she doesn't wear pants anymore. She looks prettier in a dress anyway.
-When do I get that music thing?

I drove all the way back and brought Mom her stuff. The Cool Aunt was there with Grams and then Oldest Sister and her husband came to visit as well.

This was their reaction:

-His robe is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
-No she can't, it deflates overnight.
-You'll be the best dressed person on the floor.
-Give it to him for Christmas.

I get the dress thing cause Mom currently has to wear a boot cause her foot is messed up, but the rest is questionable.

Though he did remember to pack her toothbrush and all that so you've got to give him credit.

We watched a bit of the Miss American Pageant while we were there.

You know they're supposed to be the most talented women in America.

Or so the commercial said.

Though watching their "talents" really made me question that.

Not that I wasn't already questioning it.

We were rooting for Kansas since she was kind of the anti-contestant-type.

Army. Boots. Tattoos.

Of course she lost, but still! that was our pick.

It's amusing to watch and make colorful commentary.

Alright, back to work tomorrow so I should get some sleep.

Hope you all had rockstar weekends.

Stop - Spice Girls


i love that the crowd goes nuts when posh starts to sing. though she is the one with the clothing line so i guess it makes sense.

and yes i know the dance. it's the same one in the actual video.

get over it.

Multivitamins are the gateway to exercise John, everybody knows that.

You know how sometimes you think there's someone in your apartment so you call 911 in the middle of the night?

Cause you don't want to go and see if there's someone in the apartment by yourself and be screwed if there actually is someone in your apartment?

So then you get the courage to go see if there's someone in your apartment and of course there's not someone in your apartment so you sound like an idiot when talking to the operator?

Combined with the fact that it's the middle of the night and you're half asleep so you probably sounded like an idiot to begin with?

So you apologize profusely and go back to bed then wake up hoping it was all a dream, check your phone and see nothing listed on your call history?

Yet you're 98% sure that it actually happened, but completely confused as to why it's not showing up in your call history?

Anyone? Anyone?

Just me?

Thought so.

Pretty sure there's some sort of note in my record now noting this occurrence, though I'm still really hoping it was all just a messed up dream.

Though I'm sure it wasn't.

98% sure that is.

It made for a weird morning.

Added to the fact that I had my volunteer training scheduled wrong - which BossLady attempted to tell me earlier but I had written it down wrong so I must have just told her and then forgot about the change - and then I was only there half a day.

Came home and did some practicum stuff.

Made some cool library signs and rules and all that.

AND I got to do that while watching Elementary in the background.

Best practicum ever.

Then Carter and I took a nap.

It was awesome.

Now I'm working on some editing and will go back to that as soon as this is posted.

Tomorrow is back to work.

Songs of the Day go to Elton

Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word


Rocket Man


Got the official text from the boyfriend this morning - he got our tickets to see him in November.

I know you're all jealous.

Will probably be surrounded by people 40 years our senior. But that's fine by me.

As you can see he's awesome live.

So BE JEALOUS!

Or you know, you could get tickets too.

I'm sorry, the Miss America 2014 commercial just called their contestants the most talented women in America.

Really?

Really?

I've never watched one of their pageants but I can guarantee they're not the most talented women in America.

I'm sorry.

Though now I'm temped to watch one just to see what their "talents" are.

Legitimate pre-midnight post. Holy crap tag in use.

and i think it's gonna be a long long time.
